Keys stop working under Windows 10 64bit

This hasn't happened often, but when it does its real annoying and slows model development down.

For unknown reasons, AC3D will suddenly stop responding to hotkeys. Copy, paste, and others such as program specific keys; make vertex, join surfaces, for example.
None of the hotkeys work when this happens. Only way to use any of the functions in the program is manually via the menus.

Could this be that the focus is set in one of the input fields? Do you see the key characters appear in one of the fields?

Nope. And when this happens, I can't even use the shortcut to copy text in a field if I wanted.

Reloading the program a couple of times did correct the problem. But still do not know what caused it in the first place.

If you start AC3D from the command line with "ac3d -debug", you'll see (along with a lot of other stuff) all key presses reported to the console window.
